I get this error Videos stored on base station not available. I have 2 arlo pro 3s and a wired doorbell connected to the base station. I can’t view any recordings from my base station. I already tried restarting the base station and reinstalling the app. What else has everyone tried?

Are you running iOS or Android?

 

Is this happening

  • when the phone is on your home wifi?
  • when away from home?
  • both?

And with both iOS and Android, you can select the base as the library, but then get this error message?

iOS I can select either cloud or base station to view. Android just says library and I can’t view from either

Is the Android phone using a friend account?  Only the primary account can access the local recordings.

I suggest restarting the base, and see if that helps.

 

If it doesn't, then try ejecting the storage, and making sure the recordings are there (connecting it to a PC).

I have the same issue, that is, “videos stored on the base station are not available”. I have followed your advice, restarted the base station, but not work. Rejected the USB, still not work. I then tried reset the base station by pinning the reset button, which resulted removal of the base station, so that I have to add it back in the app. Sadly this still not work? Please let me know what else I can do? Thanks!

I can't think of any other troubleshooting steps.  Of course getting a subscription would be a workaround, but you would need to pay for that.  It would get you the videos, and also entitle you to phone support.
